Guerilla in their midst

Speaking of Newsweek, there's an amusing addendum to the post below in today's New York Times story about the emergence of Karl Rove as a political commentator. The story is mostly about Rove's appearances on Fox, but it also notes Newsweek editor Meacham's decision to hire Rove as a columnist:

Mr. Meacham said Mr. Rove had been received surprisingly well in the magazine’s newsroom, where he has been a reliable colleague who files his articles on time and works diligently with fact checkers.

"After one editor dealt with him," Mr. Meacham said, "the editor called me and said, 'This just complicated my world view. I may like Karl Rove.'"

You would think these people would know better – that they could see this coming from a mile away.

But since they apparently cannot, allow me to spell it out: Rove, having already set up the conditions that will destroy the Democratic Party, is naturally now moving on to destroy the MSM – from within.
